It is one of two churches in the Arna parish which is part of the Åsane prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The white, stone church was built in a long church design in 1864 using plans drawn up by the architect Frederik Hannibal Stockfleth.

Frederik Hannibal Stockfleth was hired to design the new church and a man named Wangberg was hired as the lead builder.

In 1928, the church interior was refurbished and repainted.

In 1936, a sacristy was built on the north and south sides of the choir using designs by the architect Erlend Tryti.
